Water in Grand Rapids is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Grand Rapids is 15.0 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the very hard range. This means there’s a lot of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Grand Rapids, MI water sources
A recent Environmental Working Group study analyzing water quality data from 2021-2023 found that Michigan’s 1,391 public water utilities serve over 7 million residents with water containing 104 known contaminants. The study identified 27 contaminants across Michigan that exceed EWG’s health guidelines, including haloacetic acids, chromium, nitrate, radium, arsenic, bromate, and chlorate. These findings highlight significant water quality challenges that affect Grand Rapids residents and communities throughout the state.
The contaminants detected pose various health risks, from cancer-causing chemicals like arsenic and hexavalent chromium to disinfection byproducts formed during water treatment processes. Heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and radioactive substances like radium and uranium were also found in many water systems. While Michigan has established standards for PFAS compounds, these regulations currently face legal challenges, and federal PFAS rules are under review by the new administration. These water quality issues demonstrate why professional water treatment solutions are essential for Grand Rapids homeowners seeking to protect their families from potentially harmful contaminants in their tap water.
